Very pleased with the doctor and the information provided. He did not recommend a unnecessary surgery and gave me other options!!!

The wait time to see the doctor and a nurse in order to get into the room was very fast and efficient. Then Dr. Bonness and the nurse practitioners told me listen to all my concerns. They answered all my questions and I didn't feel rushed at all and they gave me their own opinions on the matter to help you make an informed decision. So I felt really comfortable and had enough time to get all my questions answered.
